This weekend was spectacular for camping, cool at night and warm during the day with a nice breeze. All day the sun shone and the blue sky was dotted with just a few clouds. We spent both days outside running and playing and I even was able to frame a few shots. All in all, a wonderful weekend and a great first camping trip of the year.
Spring is finally here and the temperatures were doing a fine job of rising. Until the weekend of course, when the temps dropped over 20 degrees overnight and frosted the windshield of my car. I gathered up a backpack full of water, energy bars and camera gear and headed out anyway. Having all morning to myself, I decided to hike some trails at Ohiopyle that I haven’t been on before. It was a nice 7+ mile hike that let me scope out the trails and see if there was anything that would be bring me back later in the season for a closer look. The light was a bit harsh, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the foliage wasn’t quite blooming yet. Regardless, it was still a great time. Here are a few of the shots I managed.
Today was a fairly warm day, so imagine my surprise when I peered out a window and saw a falling blanket of white snow. There was almost no wind and the flakes were large and softly floating toward the ground. Thankfully, my daughter wanted to go outside, so off we went on a short walk.
My family and I just returned from a quick trip to Florida to visit her Grandparent’s at their winter retreat. The day that we left, a few inches of snow were forecast to drop on our house, but we had already landed in Florida by the time that started. We were greeted with breezy 70 degree air and bright sunshine. As always, I try to get some non-family pictures and here are my favorites.
